If Jon (and that is a big IF) does come back to life then it will be the fulfillment of a Prophecy we have know for since CoK (maybe since GoT) which is PtwP/AAR/StMtW, he has to come back to life if the Song of Ice and Fire is truly his.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-49624011836936579842013-09-30T17:28:53.962+02:002013-09-30T17:28:53.962+02:00Cat came back as Lady Stoneheart and Jon Snow can ...Cat came back as Lady Stoneheart and Jon Snow can come back too. doesn`t that cheapen the story?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-6350184053155210432013-09-30T16:41:14.505+02:002013-09-30T16:41:14.505+02:00And that answerts the question, I guess.

The evidence given was : Arya not recognising him at his execution; Sansa not recognising his face on a spike; Catelyn thinking his bones are too small. If you add this to the offer Varys makes where by he will read a letter Eddard will right for Jon makes me believe that Varys may have strung him free as Jon could easily be an ally of Daenarys as the dragon must have three heads.

Love your "Theory Hour". I a...Hey Stefan! Love your "Theory Hour". I also don't think we have seen the last of Thorne, but I still don't see where his part in the story is, who was he trying to reach anyways? Tormund, the Weeper?<br />I would like to know what you think on how the Others will invade Westeros. I think the wall is really badass and hope it doesn't fall down, at least completely. Just like Jon has many ways of getting out of his death situation, so do the Others on bypassing the barrier, they could:<br />1) Bring down the wall partially (just a small area somewhere) using sorcery/horn/earthquake.<br />2) Use the tunnels that go beneath the wall (hey, it was brought up for a reason).<br />3) Use ships and/or sea-creatures from hardhome, using the undead crew members to navigate them.<br />4) Just walk on the ocean floor ala "Pirates of the Caribbean" or wait until the ocean partially freezes (Iceberg?)<br /><br />I would also want to know (only if you aren't to loaded with Theories) what role the wildlings will play on the protection of Westeros. A lot of people sh*t on Jon's ADWD storyline but I believe that saving the free folk (or at least a percentage of them) was the right thing to do and that adapting them as allies to the NW will have a critical importance later on when the war against the others start, even if the whole aftermath of the NW's coup on Jon causes a bloodbath between the different factions on the Wall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
